Stunning venue and amazing staff!!!

We got married on October 21, 2022 in the Raisin River Room and I can't RAVE enough how they gave us the wedding of our dreams! Wendy, Andrea, and the entire staff were professional and very attentive to every detail. Every single guest told us the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding! Wendy really knows what she is doing and provides you with many timelines and planning tools months before the big day. Obviously last minute changes happen and Wendy was more than accommodating. I can't say enough how amazing and beautiful our wedding was thanks to Wendy and the entire staff! The grounds are beautiful and has so many options for photos, the room was very comfortable and not too crowded for our 100 guests. We loved telling our guests about the Weller’s History and how it used to be owned by Henry Ford. The location was super easy to find for guests and even months later our guests are still talking about beautiful our wedding was. They also have a “Hospitality House” 1/2 mile from the venue for the bridal party to get ready in, it also has a yard that is gorgeous for pictures. I took my “first look” photos with my dad there. I absolutely recommend Weller's!

Wellers Raisin River Room was beautiful! It was everything we could ever imagine when it came down to choosing it upon viewing/booking to the actual wedding day. For what you get at wellers and the cost, it really is a great value! Everyone said it was beautiful and the food was awesome! My only complaints were their Hospitality house had a bunch of wasps on the porch so you couldn’t use that area for pictures before the ceremony and I’m glad noone was allergic to them or that could have been disastrous. Other than that the experience was great!

Wellers made planning and executing our out-of-town wedding a smooth experience. The venue is great - it's full of character and needs very little decoration. Katie, Andrea, and the rest of the team are a joy to work with, and the food is delicious. We highly recommend them if you're looking for a experienced team and a venue with great atmosphere.

Wellers is beautiful. We got married on the East Ceremony Grounds and used the Raisin River Room. Seriously the people here are so kind and it is legitimately magical. We did our meetings with Katie who is fantastic, knowledgeable, and fun. She let us know ahead of time she would be at a wedding herself the night of our wedding and Andrea would be working with us. Andrea is also wonderful and checked on myself and my husband all night to make sure we had everything we needed. The food and fancy desserts were delicious and everyone I spoke with was so happy with the delicious food. Beyond that, I was brought to tears by how accommodating they were for a special needs family member. They made my day perfect and I am so happy with my experience with Wellers.

There are not enough words to explain how much I loved Weller's for our wedding. We had booked our reception in the Carriage House and every part of our space was absolutely gorgeous. My guests were constantly telling me how beautiful the venue was. It has such a unique look and the landscaping was great, you really do not need to worry about spending too much on added decor. Plus, the space makes for fantastic wedding photos! Although some of the rentals can really add up in price, after seeing everything together it was worth every penny. The food was amazing as well (especially the prime rib and mashed potatoes), I wish I had time to eat more of it! I really want to thank Wendy and Andrea as well as all of the waitstaff (Feng, Monica, and Robert) and bartenders (Johnny and Kelie) for taking care of everything and relieving any stress we may have had, you all were great! Everything went perfect in my eyes.

I cannot express how much I loved this venue. From the very beginning, Wendy was great to work with. She met with us several times before we booked to answer all of our questions. She made us very comfortable about choosing this venue for our big day. This venue is stunning. We had out ceremony on site outside and I could not have imagined anything so beautiful. We had out reception in the Carriage House and it is a gorgeous building. On the day of, Andrea was wonderful. Anything I or any vendor needed she was on it. Our wedding day went so smoothly it was surreal. We were severed appetizers first from the wait staff and had a plate of them waiting for us when we sat down. After speeches, Andrea came up, congratulated us and stated “we would like to serve you your first meal as a married couple"! Let me say the food is AMAZING! Everyone is still talking about how wonderful dinner was. The bartenders were great and one even found me on the dance floor to give me a drink. I was blown away by the service of everyone. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to a stunning venue with great service and amazing food! Truly an amazing gem!

Honestly PERFECT! Our wedding at Wellers was beyond amazing. Andrea and Wendy were wonderful from start to finish. Yes, they have some firm processes, but they are experienced and they have the guidelines in place to ensure your day goes off without a hitch. We loved every second of our ceremony and reception. Guest could not stop raving about the venue. It is so unique and everything is so naturally beautiful!

Our guests couldn't stop raving about Wellers, saying the site was beautiful and had lots of character(guests loved the antiques and stone and brick throughout the rooms). We got ready at the hospitality house, had our ceremony in the gardens and the reception in the Raisin River room. We made several changes 2 weeks before the wedding and Wendy was amazing. She was responsive and always nice when dealing with my panicked emails or calls. The food couldn't have been better, we chose the prime rib and Michigan cherry chicken. The prime rib was tender and both dishes were full of flavor. My husband and I appreciated that the staff saved a plate of the appetizers for us once we returned from pictures. We had children in attendance who wouldn't eat the amazing food, so pizza was ordered and the staff brought it out on plates for them once it was delivered, I wouldn't have changed a thing and highly recommend Wellers to anyone looking for a venue.

If your looking for a perfect place that has an amazing outdoor ceremony as well as indoor outdoor option for the reception, Wellers is for you. Such a beautiful place, I received so many comments on how wonderful the venue was and how the staff really were attentive to the needs of the guests as well as the bride and groom. This place is a gem hidden among many different venues in the Ann Arbor area. Nicole and Andreea were excellent and helpful, they were wonderful to work with!!!
